Tag! You're It!

I was tagged by Laura over at Scattered Figments and I thought 'Hey; this sounds fun' 

The Rules 

1. Answer the eleven questions that were asked of you by the person who tagged you

2. Make up eleven new questions and tag eleven new people to do the meme! 

3. Let them know you tagged them!

So here are the questions Laura asked me and my answers.

Question 1

What is your favourite thing about blogging?

Honestly, I get to talk about books with so many different people and get recommendations all the time!  I love learning new stuff and the fact I can talk to authors about their books is like a dream

Question 2

Who is your favourite literary hero or heroine and why?

Matilda.  There are lots of heroic types I've read and loved but she was my first real hero.  She was different from all her family and friends and used her brain and love of books to keep herself company and she beat the bad guys.  She never tried to change herself but just tried the best to accept those in her life that wouldn't except her.  I love her

Question 3 

Who is your favourite villain?

I love a good bad guy and my favourite is hard to pick so I'll give you a few of my favourites.   Mrs Coulter from His Dark Materials, Lady Macbeth and Death herself in the Wicked Lovely Series.  (Also I've just noticed they are all girls but I think that women make really good bad guys..though the bad GUYS are just as bad)

Question 4

If you ever wrote your autobiography, what would the title be and why?

hhhhmmmm.  probably something simple like 'Fangirl'  because most of my life and 'exciting' stuff i've done or seen has been down to my fangirl-ing with music, books and geekery

Question 5

If you could choose any famous figure (dead or alive, past or present) to spend a day with, who would it be and why?

SO HARD!  I'd want it to be someone I'd get on with and is quite fun if i've got to spend a whole day with them.  Maybe Stephen Fry because he'd be so interesting to talk to and explore the city and then maybe a spot of tea later.

Question 6

As a kid, what did you want to be when you "grew up"?

I used to have a Fashion Wheel (pictured) and for so long wanted to be a fashion designer because I thought that all it meant was basically having a professional version of the Fashion Wheel and that was it.  It isn't.

Question 7

What are you most looking forward to in 2012?

My holiday.  I'm off on a long family holiday for 3 weeks in July to America and I'm already planning all the books I'm gonna buy.  Plus I'm also going to be there for 4th July so that'll be interesting to say the least!

Question 8

What happened in the last dream you had? 

At the moment I'm reading 'The Things We Do For Love' by Natasha Farrant and it's set in late 1940s in France and it's a teen romance.  I'm totally in love with it and I think my last dream was in a French town like in the book.  Can't remember much more about the dream though.

Question 9

Do you have any bad habits that you're willing to admit to?

TONS!  I bite my nails, curse like a trucker, I lie, I drink WAY too much coffee.  The list could go on but nothing like smoking or stealing is on there.  Sorry to disappoint!

Question 10

What was the worst job you ever had and what made it so bad?

Think the worst was when I had a Saturday job in a dry cleaners.  Handling dirty clothes and it was standing all day and the worst bit was when I had lunch one day on the little stool round the back of the steamy ironing room and a mouse ran past my feet.

Question 11

Are you a practical person or a bit of a daydreamer? 

A practical Daydreamer.  lol.  My head is always in the clouds and it's handy for work because I get to be creative and thinking outside the box but I'm an avid list maker and tend to be the one at work to remember the little things to do so i'm practical in that way.  Maybe like 65% daydreamer.

My questions for those I tag and those who fancy doing it too!

1. What's your favourite dessert?

2. What's the last book you read that completely knocked your socks off?

3. What's your snack food guilty pleasure?

4. When you were little did you have a favourite toy and what was it?

5. Is there any skill or talent you wished you had but just don't? (wished you could play the piano or juggle??)

6. What kind of music do you like? Any recommendations?

7. Last movie you saw at the cinema and what you thought of it?

8. What is your dream job?

9. What is your favourite kid's TV show (now or when you were a kid)?

10. Favourite ice cream flavour?

11. If you could visit anywhere in the world where would you go and why?
